Tip 4:
Include a few paragraphs of introduction
text in the email accompanying your resume.

Find out who works at the company or who the hiring manager is
and address it that way. This makes
it clear that you have done some research on the company.

Tip 6:
Always mention the company you are applying to in your cover
letter.

It shows that you researched the company and the job.

Tip 7: In
cases where your background (schooling and jobs) don't apply
to the position, it is important to address that situation
in your cover letter.

Explain why you want to apply for a job that doesn't quite fit
your experience. Career changes are a very common occurrence,
but it will be to your benefit to address and explain your goals.

Tip 8: Take
advantage of technology.

Include links in your email and cover letter to your accounts on various
social networking sites such as LinkedIn or personal websites.
This provides a lot of additional background and personality
information that can be very helpful to make you stand out
from the crowd.

Tip 9: Discover what
a company values and address that in your email and cover letter.

At Inavero, we value fanatical client service, so in our hiring process applicants
who give an example of their experience with client service and
how their values align with ours were instantly moved to the
next round.

Tip 10: It
is not necessary to state multiple times
that you are a perfect fit.

Instead, talk about how your qualifications do or do not apply
to the position and let the hiring manager decide the perfection
of the fit.
